Prince’s Super Bowl Sunday Party Probably Better Than Yours
What could possibly be the best part of this account of a launch party for Prince’s new Web site, lotusflow3r.com, which took place in the wee hours of yesterday at The Purple One’s house? The Anita Baker cameo? The somewhat gramatically awkward, yet still incredible detail that Prince wore “shoes that lighted up with red lights with each step”? Nah, it has to be the list of covers, which included the Cars’ “Let’s Go,” the Rolling Stones, “Miss You,” Mary J. Blige’s “Be Happy,” and Rick James’ “Give It To Me Baby,” which Prince weaved into his own “Let’s Work.” (The aforementioned site also has three new songs streaming from it, and if you sign up for e-mail updates, you get told that “U R In The System.” Well, let’s hope this means my invite won’t get lost in the mail next time.)
